Killer package Jack!

Thanks Mike - but all it proves is that even a blind squirel can find some nuts once in awhile .And did you notice I was second off the line .............

SuperStock class was OK but the Automatic Combo race was the best - must be 12 or 14 cars and its wide open - and the winner will surely earn the Wally .

Wind is picking up and the skies are dark - they look as if they'll open any minute ......

Congrat's to the "Over the Hill Ohio Gang" less Nitro for your class win at the SuperNationals in GT/EA and congrat's to the rest of the class winners also

Wish I could be there, I've always wanted to visit Englishtown...anyone have any photos of Ken's Mustang and Jack's Firebird, maybe you guys can post some of each others cars...also do you guys have any Class Racer decals on your cars, lets see'em.

Just started raining here at 930, they finished the program tonight. It is suppose to rain hard overnight, if the 10;15 start time gets pushed back tommorrow I suspect they will go right into the pros and skip the sportsman classes till later.

Some notes from today

the weather made a change and there were lots of breakouts etc in stock

SS class was entertaining, some excellant runs, dissappointing ones too

55 or 6 chev ss'r had a fire in staging lanes in the 2nd rd of the ss auto combo, it was scary for a minute or 2, but i heard rumor that he got it back running and fixed for the eliminator.

The track has been good, i watched many pairs and saw very few spin.

Thanks to Joanne,Shirley,Stephanie, Marc, Mark , and Al for, the parking spot, the food and the entertainment, did i say entertainment ??? thanks guys i owe you

[Ralph Cardamone]

Nitro thanks . A lot of racers have asked about you . Wish you were here to dial in car tomorrow you have that touch.the car was really on we should be back on track . Oh by the way thank you Timmy Worner for the choclate milk

[SStockDart]

Good morning -- The rains came last night just like they called for and dumped a bunch on us ........but they're gone now and our 10:15 start looks like a possibility .The NHRA Safety Safari has been out since before dawn using every piece of equipment but the jets and a few minutes ago they fired them up .These guys (and gals) are serious about drying the place out and will get it done .Mother Nature could help out using the Sun to dry things but that may not happen till later in the day .

We'll start out with SuperStreet - then SuperStock and RD2 of Stock ............

BTW , that gas truck pictured will fill the Safari equipment several times today using more than 1200 gallons each time - ouch .I told the driver that I left my credit card in the coach .

[Jack Matyas]

9:00 update - the Sun has now been out for about an hour -- pack your picnic basket --- its going be a great race day .........if you're not here get moving .


Seventy-seven degrees - 53 % humidity - 29.62 barometer - .48 VP - just over 2100 DA - not as fast as yesterday but we'll take it .
